Pittsford, NY -- very safe.

 

Las Vegas, NV...no.

I'd say my small rural area is safe, mostly because there isn't a whole lot of people around to start stuff, sometimes I hear a Whelen or Intimidator siren off in the distance echoing in the many valleys. 

Well, i live in the metropolitan region of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, this place it's not safe... Since the Workers Party(a left-wing party) took the power in Brazil, this idiot government put in practice his policy of take off the guns of the people, then, the statistics every year of murders, robberies and other crimes only increased and this it's totally ignored. Today, you can't just walk on the street talking on your cellphone because someone can take it from you and some people are used to say 'We can get out from our homes to work, but we don't know if we'll get back after'.

In Rio we have a lot of favelas where drug dealers walk on the streets with rifles without problem, so the local government created a strategy to remove them from the favelas and occupy this place with police units, called Unidade de Policia Pacificadora(or Police Unity of Pacification), but, every time they invade one favela this fucking drug dealers run like cowards and hide in other neighborhoods or favelas, so, the government are simply transferring the problem. Sometimes i watch the local journal and i see some of this outlaws killing and robbing people, and we can do nothing, because we can't count on our police totally, some of them receive bribe, or some of them dont give a shit about it. I saw once on TV drug dealers removing people from their home and taking that neighborhood as his territory, this is simply irritant, and the people can't do nothing. This Sunday we had elections, in some places, the Brazilian Army was need to offer security to the people for vote...

Recently a big corruption scheme was discovered in Rio de Janeiro's State Military Police, some high rank police officers was received bribes from drug dealers to free some of his captured men and guns, something like a quantity of $300.000 Reais(i think in Dolars it's almost $100.000).

 

I can summarize in a few words: Brazil it's not a safe place... Not anymore...
 

My neighborhood is the pretty damn safe. Can't say the same for the world outside our community gate. There have been murders and stalkings adjacent to my hood, but nothing never happened on this side. Oh, and I can't sleep at night very well due to the illegal races going on just outside the neighborhood at night. The rich brats organize them on an everyday basis here.

Crime in my town is as low as it gets. 

Basically all people living around here is part of the upper middle or upper class, and anyone who is not part of either are retired.

 

Ambulances often responds to here, mind you for sick people, but I don't think I've ever seen an police vehicle with sirens on here.

Not particularly. Two weeks ago a car almost crashed into my living room. Add that to a drug dealer a couple of houses down, a popular place for users to use being a five minute walk away and the "bad" side of the city being a few minutes away (I run straight thru it when I run a 5K). 

 

All in all it depends on the day. Nobody's been shot, I guess we're more fond of stabbing each other around here. 

Well, I guess I do live in a safe place, knowing that I haven't seen a police car in my neighbourhood in years...

The only bad thing are some school kids who get drunk on Friday and throw trash around, but yeah... That's basically all that happens here
